OAKLAND — The news on Warriors center Andrew Bogut was encouraging on Sunday, but he’s still questionable to play Monday when the Western Conference finals tip off against Oklahoma City.

Bogut, who suffered a right adductor strain in Wednesday’s Western Conference semifinals-clinching win over the Portland Trail Blazers, practiced Sunday for the first time since being injured.

“We didn’t scrimmage or anything,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We got up and down the floor a little bit with some drill work. He did everything.”

Bogut’s status will come down to how well he’s feeling Monday after he goes through what will likely be a pretty rigorous pregame workout.

“He’s got to go through his warmup tomorrow before the game and we’ll see,” Kerr said. “I would say it was encouraging today just to get him on the floor and there were no setbacks when he was getting up and down.”

Stephen Curry, who practiced Sunday without the use of a brace on his still sore right knee, said Bogut looked good on the court.

“He looked very springy for sure,” Curry said. “Hopefully he’ll be ready to go, give us what he has. We need his presence in the paint for sure against their front line. We need him out there.”

Oklahoma City uses a lineup that often pairs 7-foot Steven Adams with 6-11 Enes Kanter and the Thunder are by far the best rebounding team in the league.

During the regular season, Oklahoma City’s average rebounding edge was 8.4 per game. Detroit was second at 3.8. In the postseason, the Thunder is outrebounding teams by a league-best 9.7 per game.

The Warriors will need help up and down the lineup to mitigate that advantage, but having Bogut out there would help.

“We do have a lot of players at that position who will feel very comfortable playing, but this is probably the biggest, strongest team in the league so we need Andrew,” Kerr said. “We want him out there, but if he’s not there, we’ve got to just play and trust our other guys.”

Festus Ezeli will start if Bogut doesn’t go and Golden State will need help from Anderson Varejao and Marreese Speights.

“We have a whole group of talented guys,” Ezeli said. “We have a very deep team. In any situation that we find ourselves in, we always have guys that step up to the plate. I’m confident that we have guys that are going to find a way to get the job done.”

Klay Thompson feels good about the Warriors’ ability to survive if Bogut has to miss time.

“I think collectively our bigs can make up for it,” Thompson said. “Obviously we’d miss his rim protection and ability to find cutters. If he’s not out for very long, we’ll be able to sustain without him.”
